While the noodles cook you can start preparing the rest of the ingredients.

In a large skillet, brown the ground turkey in the oil.
5
Mix together the tomato sauce and flour and add to the meat mixture; simmer on low for 10 minute.
6
In a med bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sour cream, salt, pepper and olives (I like the green ones but you can use the black ones) and set aside.

In a separate skillet, saute the onion and green pepper in the butter, then add this to the cottage cheese and mix to combine.
8
Now place half the egg noodle in the bottom of a 3 quart casserole dish.

Spread the cottage cheese mixture over the noodles.

Place the remaining noodles over the cottage cheese mixture.

Top all this with the beef mixture and then sprinkle with the parmesan cheese (as much or as little as you like).
